Dan, Maybe I'm not seeing it but I cannot tell what version of ivtv you are running. On newer versions of ivtv no_black_magic is no longer a valid parameter.
We have a PVR-150 in a Gentoo-based backend here. We are running ivtv-0.3.5p from the development donwload site. All we do to run it is this in /etc/conf.d/local.start modprobe tveeprom modprobe ivtv ivtv will not earlier in the boot sequence for us so sticking it in loacl.start was acceptable and is working fine. Everything about the newer drivers seems to be working well for us. Hope this helps. If you need more info feel free to write back on the list or directly.
